1967 Cuda FB project
Windshields are laminated safety glass not solid tempered like the rear glass.
Laminated can be cut with a simple glass scoring cutter.
You score the glass on one side then complete the break
by tapping and applying pressure.
Then you score the other side and complete the break same as before.
Now you have both layers of the laminated glass broke but it is held
together by the plastic film between the two.
Now you put denatured alcohol on the break and let it work its way into the plastic.
It will soften and you can start to flex the break a small amount. This allows the alcohol
to seep into the break even more. Now you light the alcohol on fire and the plastic
will get hot enough to let go. You now have a cut off flaming piece of glass in your
pliers grip and a windshield ready to be ground smooth. Best done with a water belt.
Done this hundreds of times for chopped tops thousands on other laminated.
Get a old windshield and practice on. I never have seen anyone cut laminated
successful on their first try.
